Default hardware for headlight mounting?

My son erased everything from the hood forward on his xj in an accident. I found this replacement kit on the web

It states "mounting hardware not included". I'm assuming they are talking about the light adjusting hardware. Anyone know where I could find this?
Thanks

Looks like it's missing the whole headlight buckets, I'd go to a junkyard to get them.

Luckily my boy had the sense to throw the pieces in the back of the jeep. I have the buckets and the chrome retainer. Just need to find the adjustments an screws.
Thanks

You should be able to find all the screws and the adjusting parts at you local parts store. At least I found my adjusting screws at my local Auto Zone a couple of years ago. The good thing is your son is OK! Let us know how the repairs go and if you can post some before and after pics.

Yes, most of that stuff can be found on the Dorman Help rack.

I wouldn't assume that. I suspect they're expecting you to reuse the mounting hardware for the header panel.

Just get what you need from the junkyard. You might even be able to take that whole "kit" complete and intact off another Jeep. You're in Texas, so you have self-service junkyards all around. That Wrench-a-Part in Belton is pretty good, and there's a decent Pick-n-Pull in Waco. Row52 is showing a lot of XJs at those locations.
